At
92Y, nothing comes between
you and your Calvins – or your
Kabakovs or your Diana Balmoris.
We're looking at design,
photography, contemporary art
and fashion this fall and
throwing in a tour of one of New York's most
impressive buildings for good
measure. And if you're
interested in more than talking,
we offer art tours (geared to
painters and jewelry-makers) and
workshops with visiting artists
as well. Last but certainly not
least is the 92Y Warhol
Children's Festival, a unique
opportunity for kids to see
Warhol paintings and then make
their own using the same
techniques. The Festival is for
kids – but bring a beard and
come check it out yourself!

92Y CHILDREN'S WARHOL FESTIVAL

This September you can get more
for your kids than just "15
minutes of fame" – you can bring
them to
92Y to see Warhol's art and
create their own. Thanks to the
generosity of the Mugrabi
Collection, we're exhibiting 80
original paintings that Andy
Warhol created in 1983
especially for children. The
paintings – colorful, strong
images of trains, toys, apples
and the like – will be hung low
on the walls, at a level
comfortable for young viewers.
But art doesn't just hang on a
wall – so you can sign your kids
up for weekend workshops where
they'll use some of the same
techniques and principles that
Warhol used – silkscreening,
making patterns with rubber
stamps – to transform the
ordinary into…art! For more
information,

Creator of the World Trade
Center Archive and
internationally renowned
photographer Joel Meyerowitz was
the only photographer to gain
unlimited access to Ground Zero
after 9/11. Over a span of eight
months, he took more than 8,000
photographs of what he called
"the forbidden city," capturing
the monumental scale of the ruin
as well as the moments of
courage, compassion and
solidarity during the recovery
and clean-up efforts. See images
from Meyerowitz's
Aftermath: World Trade Center
Archive
(Phaidon
Press, 2011),
featuring 400 photographs of
Ground Zero and the beauty and
bravery he observed amid the
loss.

Art in Context with Sir Norman
Rosenthal | ILYA AND EMILIA
KABAKOV

The most important Russian
artist of the late 20th century,
Ilya Kabakov's work has ranged
from children's book
illustrations in the
Soviet Union to
installations and environments
that incorporate everyday
objects and abstract ideas. He
worked outside of the USSR's
official art system and
emigrated to the west in 1987.
He began working with Emilia in
1988 and the two married in
1992. While their work is a
commentary on post-Stalinist Russia, it also speaks to the
problems and feelings of people
everywhere. The Kabakovs talk
with Sir Norman, the Exhibitions
Secretary at London's Royal Academy of Arts for 30 years and
a leading advocate of then-new
painters like Anselm Kiefer and
Georg Baselitz and the curator
of the controversial "Sensation"
exhibition in 1997.

Art in Context with Sir Norman
Rosenthal | JAKE AND DINOS
CHAPMAN

When the Chapmans took remodeled
plastic figures and used them to
recreate images from Goya's
"Disasters of War" etchings,
they staked out their claim as
the
enfants terribles of
the British art world. Their
stock in trade is the offensive,
the vulgar and the distressing,
and their art has drawn on
watercolors by Adolf Hitler, sex
dolls, mannequins of children,
skulls and more. They talk with
Sir Norman, who featured them in
his landmark exhibition
Sensation in 1997 and who was
the Exhibitions Secretary at
London's Royal
Academy of Arts for 30 years.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ

If you've looked at a magazine
cover in the last 25 years,
you've seen Leibovitz's work.

Her latest book,
Pilgrimage (Random
House, 2011), isn't full of
celebrities or distinctive
portraits. It's a record of
places that Leibovitz simply
wanted to visit for herself –
not professionally, but
personally. Among the places she
felt it important to visit were
Emily Dickinson's house,
Niagara Falls,
Sigmund Freud's last home in London, the Spiral Jetty and more. Find out
where Leibovitz's own dreams and
wishes took her.

Dialogues with Design Legends |
DIANA BALMORI with PETER REED

Landscape design isn't just
about putting some trees and
flowerbeds in place. For Balmori,
it has everything to do with
public space, fluid connections
between manmade structures and
nature, sustainable systems,
alleviating pollution, handling
storm water and developing green
roofs as a vital "fifth façade."
And in turn, all that has to do
with her research and writing on
the environment, the history of
design and the sociology of
cities. She's innovative, and
her wide-ranging intelligence
touches everything she speaks
about. 92Y has invited the Museum of Modern Art's deputy director of curatorial
affairs to interview her.

Dialogues with Design Legends |
JAKOB TROLLBÄCK

Suppose a designer began his
career as a DJ and never
received formal training.
Suppose he reveled in
connections between music,
movement and design. The result
would be Jakob Trollbäck, who
started acclaimed firm Trollbäck
and company and whose lush style
has flowered in branding, motion
graphics, film title sequences,
advertising and music videos for
clients like CBS, Nike,
Infiniti, HBO, Target, Jaguar,
Miramax, Volvo and more.
